CVS (Concurrent
Versions System) is a tool that enables you to track changes to a set
of files over time. CVS is commonly used in software development to
allow multiple developers to coordinate changes, track versions, and
permit simultaneous development of different versions of the same
code.
This book is not just for software developers. It is for anyone who
produces things that change. CVS can manage versions of anything that
can be stored in files, so it is useful for programmers, system
administrators, software architects, writers, graphic artists, and
user-interface (UI) specialists. Outside the computing field, it can
be used by authors, poets, managers, architects, engineers,
accountants, and people running their everyday lives.
